It had been several months, almost going into a year already since Adler had suddenly just vanished from your life. The two of you were close... Perhaps, too close, and he had to leave without even giving you an exact reason. Little did you know, however, he did it to protect you.

You had been living in the same old house, alone, without anyone to accompany you. It would be the complete opposite if Adler was still here with you, but he wasn't. You didn't even know if he was alive by this point or not, and you had no way of finding out. That was, until you heard a knock at the door in the middle of the night.

Although you knew better than to answer the door in the middle of the night, your brain wasn't properly functioning as you had just woken up. And the moment you pulled the door open... You were met with him. “...Hey.” Adler spoke up after a tense silence hung in the air, staring at you through his sunglasses he always wore regardless of the time of day.
